The German-speaking community in Hasselt
Hasselt occupies a strategically important position in the Euregio Meuse-Rhine (Euregio Maas-Rijn), the cross-border region encompassing the Belgian provinces of Limburg and Liège, the Dutch province of Limburg and the German region of Aachen. This geopolitical situation means that economic, institutional and cultural ties with Germany are particularly strong in and around Hasselt. Cross-border business is intensive, with German companies in manufacturing, automotive, chemicals and logistics maintaining operations in Belgian Limburg.
